This arrangement was tolerable for the villagers until a princess was selected as the next offering. At this point Saint George intervened, rescuing the princess and slaying the dragon.

Inspired by the concept of court cards, Britannia and Liberty share equal prominence in this masterfully crafted design that represents the skill and experience of each Chief Engraver. The figures also represent fortitude and freedom, virtues that underpin the national identities of both the UK and the US.

Introduced in 1997, the British Silver Britannia was issued for more than 20 years with just one monarch featuring on the obverse of the coins. With the passing of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, the Royal Mint issued 2023 Britannias with both Her Late Majesty on the obverse and, later, with King Charles III on the obverse. The 2024 series is the first to boast only coins with the king on the obverse.

The history of the British Silver Britannia is a unique one among major bullion collections. While the gold coins debuted in 1987, the Silver Britannia didn’t debut until a decade later in 1997. From 1997 to 2010, the Royal Mint used alternating designs of Britannia on the reverse.

During that same period, three different portraits of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II featured on the obverse. The shortest-lived was Raphael Maklouf’s third-generation bust of the Queen used only in 1997. From 1998 to 2015, Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of the Queen featured and from 2016 to 2023, Jody Clark’s bust of the Queen was used.

The giant of the Ice Age, the woolly mammoth makes its presence known as it steps across the second release in this bullion coin series featuring prehistoric portraits. A megafauna from Canada’s prehistoric past, Mammuthus primigenius stood over three meters tall at the shoulder and weighed as much as 8 tonnes (17,600 lbs). It is easily recognized by the long, curved tusks that are some of the most distinctive fossils of Canada’s Ice Age.

The Woolly Mammoth, an extinct species that roamed parts of Europe, Asia, and North America from about 300,000 years ago until 10,000 years ago, is the focal point of this captivating coin. Utilizing their 15-foot-long tusks, these creatures would dig for plants and shrubs under the snow during the Ice Age.

The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look, and creates a light diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin. Combined with a new visual security feature – a textured maple leaf micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side.

This amazing Silver coin celebrates the birth with a nice image of the stork carrying a baby in a bundle with its beak on its reverse.

You know the story of the stork bringing babies.

A Greek myth told of storks stealing babies after Hera (goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth) turned her rival into a stork and then that stork-woman tried to steal Hera’s son. In Egyptian mythology, the soul of a person was believed to be a stork and the return of the stork in the spring meant the soul had returned to the person.

In Slavic mythology and religion, storks carried unborn souls from Vyraj (a place where birds go for the winter and souls go after death) to earth in the spring and today the story of a stork delivering babies persists.

German folklore told of storks finding babies in caves or marshes and bringing them to households in a basket on their backs or held in their beaks. The babies would then be given to the mother or dropped down the chimney. Households would indicate when they wanted children by placing sweets for the stork on the windowsill. The legend is ancient, but was popularized by a 19th-century Hans Christian Andersen story called The Storks. From there the folklore spread around the world to the Philippines and countries in South America. Birthmarks on the back of the head of a newborn baby are sometimes referred to as stork-bites.

In Ancient Chinese philosophy, yin and yang is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes how obviously opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. In Chinese cosmology, the universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of material energy, organized into the cycles of Yin and Yang and formed into objects and lives. Yin is the receptive and Yang the active principle, Humanity has already explored much of our planet Earth. Now, we are not only focusing outwards into space, but inwards into our consciousness as well. What is the relationship between our own selves and the great vastness beyond?

Struck by the prestigious Pressburg Mint, the Equilibrium Series has captivated collectors since its debut in 2018 with a 1 oz proof-like silver coin. In 2021, the series expanded to include four unique versions. Both Tokelau and Niue have contributed to this remarkable series, each offering their own interpretations of the timeless yin-yang motif.

Tesla was truly a remarkable person that devoted his life to discovery while additionally relishing the role of showman. Tesla became well known as an inventor and would even demonstrate his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab. He was also noted for his showmanship at public lectures.

Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. He emigrated to the United States in 1884, where he would become a naturalized citizen. He worked for the Edison Machine Works in New York City a short time before he struck out on his own.

In 1887, Tesla met two investors who agreed to back the formation of the Tesla Electric Company. He set up a laboratory in Manhattan, where he developed the alternating current induction motor, which solved a number of technical problems that had bedeviled other designs. When Tesla demonstrated his device at an engineering meeting, the Westinghouse Company made arrangements to license the technology, providing an upfront payment and royalties on each horsepower generated.

“Panta Rhei” – Everything flows and things come and go. When it comes to value, precious metals have always held a crucial position in the world of finance. Nowadays, a safe haven at the very least, a financial norm in the past. Silver currently holds an especially important position in the financial world and we believe it will continue to do so for a long time.

Now and forever.

Heraclitus recognized the fundamental changing of objects with the flow of time (i.e., impermanence) and the philosophical issue of becoming.

He is credited with the phrase πάντα ῥεῖ (panta rhei) “everything flows.”This famous aphorism used to characterize Heraclitus’ thought comes from Simplicius, a neoplatonist, and from Plato’s Cratylus. The word rhei (as in rheology) is the Greek word for “to stream”, and is etymologically related to Rhea according to Plato’s Cratylus. Compare with the Latin adages Omnia mutantur and Tempora mutantur (8 AD) and the Buddhist and Hindu concepts of anicca.

All seven coins have been available on an annual basis since that time with no breaks in production for any weight. The 1 oz silver coin has had the highest mintage among the seven in every year except for 2018 when the 1/2 oz silver coin sold roughly 63,000 more coins than the 1 oz specimen.

Fineness:
999

RoboCop is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. The film stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O’Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer. Set in a crime-ridden Detroit in the near future, RoboCop centers on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is murdered by a gang of criminals but revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as the cyborg law enforcer RoboCop. Unaware of his former life, RoboCop executes a campaign against crime while coming to terms with the lingering fragments of his humanity.

The film was conceived by Neumeier while working on the set of Blade Runner (1982), and he developed the idea with Miner. Their script was purchased in early 1985 by producer Jon Davison on behalf of Orion Pictures. Finding a director proved difficult; Verhoeven dismissed the script twice because he did not understand its satirical content, until he was convinced of its value by his wife. Filming took place between August and October 1986, mainly in Dallas, Texas. Rob Bottin led the special-effects team in creating practical effects, violent gore and the RoboCop costume.

The 1928 short Steamboat Willie made history as one of the first cartoons with synchronized sound and introduced Mickey and Minnie Mouse. While the third Mickey Mouse film was produced, it was the first to be distributed.

Although many people consider the Steamboat Willie cartoon to be Mickey and Minnie’s debut, it was actually the third outing for the famous mouse and his girlfriend. However, Steamboat Willie was Mickey’s first official appearance. It was also the world’s first fully synchronised sound cartoon and became one of the most popular animated films of its time. In 2007, Disney reworked the cartoon’s opening scene of Mickey whistling at the helm of his steamboat and it’s now used as the introduction to the studio’s animated features. The scene is the inspiration for the 2017 Silver Steamboat Willie coin.

Manufacturer: Bulmint

Weight (grams):

Fineness:
999

The two figures depicted on the reverse are Rangi and Papa – the Sky Father and Earth Mother from which the universe was born, according to Māori beliefs. Their creation myth tells the story of the deep but doomed love between Earth and Sky. Held in each other’s tight embrace, the space between them was home to pitch-black darkness, where lived their 70 children – the gods of the forest, the sea, the winds, and all the forces of nature. The more they grew, the more they hungered for light, until one day with a heavy heart, they decided to rend their parents apart. Each tried their mightiest – to no avail. Then came the god of the forest’s turn – despite Rangi and Papa’s anguished cries, he stood firmly between them and began pushing at them, until finally, he managed to rend the Sky Father and the Earth Mother apart, letting the light flood between them and freely shine upon the world. To this day, Rangi and Papa yearn for each other, separated forever but still deeply in love.

Here, the Sky Father and the Earth Mother are depicted before their tragic separation. Their faces are adorned with the traditional tattoos Māori people are marked with as a rite of passage – men on their faces and some parts of the body, and women on their chins. The design is based on the typical Māori woodcarving style through which this culture has been expressing its legends and beliefs for centuries – and the texture of the wood has been recreated with an all-matt finish.

The 2023 Krugerrand continues this legendary tradition in a new metal. Much like its gold sibling, the Silver Krugerrand offers investors a great way to own low-premium bullion.

Its market premium is comparable to the Silver Maple Leaf, Britannia, Kangaroo, and Philharmonic. Unlike the other sovereign coins in its class, however, the Krugerrand offers multi-generational demand and recognition. Gold investors have turned to the Krugerrand for over 50 years; now they can own this trusted coin in silver too.

The 2023 1 oz Silver Krugerrand also features its face value as part of the obverse design. The original reverse design of a leaping springbok antelope is also sharper and more defined thanks to the latest computer technology and laser etching techniques. The obverse of this prestigious 2023 silver coin features the well-known portrait of Paul Kruger by Otto Schultz.

This feature is a staple for every coin in the Truth series and adds value for many customers. For the new 2022 1 oz Silver Sword of Truth coin, a message that reads “The Sword of the Spirit” has been micro-engraved onto the hilt of the sword. Also seen on the shield is the Hebrew lettering “רוח קודש” which means “Holy Spirit”.

The statue depicted Zeus, king of the gods in Green mythology, seated on a magnificent throne. It was crafted primarily from ivory panels mounded to a wooden core, with Gold and other precious materials adorning the statue.

The statue stood at an impressive height of around 42 feet and was a symbol for the power and grandeur that was often associated with Zeus. It served as a focal point of worship and a testament to the Greeks’ devotion to their gods. Sadly, the statue was lost in a fire in the 5th century CE.

The sculptures and columns were built by the famed Greek sculptors Leochares, Bryaxis, Scopas and Timotheus.

The Mausoleum was destroyed by earthquakes between the 12th and 15th century, and was the last surviving of the six destroyed wonders, leaving only the Pyramid at Giza remaining to modern day. The Mausoleum lives on through various inspired structures around the world, and ruins of the tomb can still be seen at its resting place to this day.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is perhaps the most famous of the 7 Wonders of the World, and the only one to remain intact to this day. It is located just outside of modern day Cairo, and was built over 4,500 years ago.

The pyramid is the largest of the Egyptian pyramids, and was built to be the tomb of pharaoh Khufu in the early 26th century BC. It is estimated that the pyramid took around 27 years to complete and held the title of largest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The construction technique used to build the pyramid has been a topic of debate for centuries, but it is widely believed that stone was gathered in quarries surrounding the site and transported by boat along the Nile to the site of construction. Once complete, the structure was made up of around 2.3 million blocks and contained around 5.5 million tonnes of limestone and 8,000 tonnes of granite.

The Great Pyramid of Giza has been a marvel for the human race for thousands of years, fascinating for its place in Egyptian history, construction and architectural feat, and its ability to survive through the centuries.

Those mints include but are not limited to Shenzhen, Shanghai and Shenyang. Unlike the U.S. Mint, these Chinese Mints do not incorporate mint marks to distinguish the difference between each mint. Instead, these mints are known for having minor differences in the design of the coin such as font size, bamboo length and designs of the temple in certain year’s mintages.

  • Obverse: Depicts the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing encircled by the phrase “People’s Republic of China”.

Silver bullion bars have long been a sound choice for precious metals investors. There are primarily two advantages recognized by those investing in bullion bars. Due to lower production costs, they generally have a lower premium as compared to the same troy oz of silver and gold coins. This, of course, results in less expensive upfront investment costs. Perhaps equally important to the precious metals investment stacker is the bar’s relative ease of stacking for storage. The stacks generally take less room to store than the same weight of bullion coins.

The Sydney Opera House has been a source of wonder since it was a sketch on a page. In 1954, the then NSW Premier, Joseph Cahill, promised a structure that would be a credit to the state for hundreds of years. Then, from a small coastal town in Denmark came a vision from architect Jorn Utzon that would forever change the face of Sydney.

Now a symbol of modern Australia, the Sydney Opera House has more than repaid the conviction of Utzon and Australian architect Peter Hall, who transformed these dreams into the creative masterpiece that stands today. When the building finally opened its doors in October 1973, a new era of creativity and connection began.

Five decades later, the Opera House is everyone’s house. It is the nation’s premier tourist destination, one of the world’s busiest performing arts centres and a community meeting place that belongs to all Australians. To visit Bennelong Point is to encounter a story of contemporary experience that continues to renew itself each day.

The silver coin in color celebrates the 250th anniversary of the second and first official voyage of discovery by James Cook.

The Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) is a part of East Antarctica claimed by Australia as an external territory. The territory’s history dates to a claim on Enderby Land made by the United Kingdom in 1841, which was subsequently expanded and eventually transferred to Australia in 1933. It is the largest territory of Antarctica claimed by any nation by area.

Named in honour of naturalist Johann Forster, who travelled with Captain James Cook on his second voyage of discovery (1772 – 1775), the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the largest of all penguins, growing to around a metre tall. Emperors are endemic to Antarctica, including the Australian Antarctic Territory. They are well adapted to the frigid southern continent and alone among penguins, are capable of breeding during the icy winter.

Once regarded as a species of least concern, Emperor Penguins are now classed as near threatened, due to reduction of their food source from commercial fishing and climate change induced loss of sea ice.
